"Funding This work was supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie (Grant Agreement #843298 to L.S.). The research infrastructure was provided by a Canadian Foundation for Innovation Leaders Opportunity fund grant (#203764) and spider populations were maintained with funds from a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Discovery grant (#2017-06060) both to M.C.B.A. We would like to thank Luciana Baruffaldi for her insightful feedback on the experimental setup, Yael Lubin and Gabriele Uhl for their comments on the observed results, Sean McCann for the photograph, and Ariela Kong and Jeshan Sivakumar for maintaining the spider population used in this study, along with a number of other undergraduate lab assistants whose work was partially supported by the University of Toronto work-study program."
